In 2022, internet star Jake Paul and Simplebet founder Joey Levy launched Betr, a sportsbook app originally focused on microbetting.
Less than a year later in July 2023, the company launched its Picks product to compete with DFS Pick'em apps like PrizePicks and Underdog Fantasy.
Betr Picks is now the most popular (and widely available) part of the app. This review will focus solely on Betr Picks.
With Betr Picks, you choose whether players will have more or less than their projected stats. If you hit all of your picks (or most of your picks in Dynamic Play mode), you win real money.
If that's unclear—don't worry—we'll go into more detail on how Betr Picks works later in this review.
The best parts of Betr Picks are the smooth user experience, wide selection of stats and sports, and the lack of pushes (since there are no half-point player stat projections).
On the downside, Betr Picks' payouts don't stack up to the competition for some entry sizes, the sign-up bonus is riskier than deposit matches that many competitors offer, and there is no way to play on desktop.
If you're ready to give Betr Picks a go, sign up using promo code ASSIST to get a No Sweat First Entry up to $250.
If you're still unsure if it's right for you, read on to learn how Betr Picks works, compare payouts, and everything else you need to know.
Here are some screenshots to help you get an idea of what the Betr Picks app looks like (click to expand):

My Favorite Parts About Betr Picks
- Up to 1000x payouts: Most Pick'em sites cap their payouts between 20x and 75x. Betr ups the ante BIG TIME, offering up to 1000x payouts for 8-pick entries with 4 multipliers included.
- Arguably the best user experience of DFS apps: It's easy to find the leagues, players, and stats you're interested in on Betr Picks—especially with the team logos and player pictures. I find that the app always loads fast and I haven't run into any bugs in my time playing.
- Wide selection of player stats: You'll find that Betr offers a wide variety of player stats to choose from. Whereas other DFS apps just offer points and a few other categories, Betr also lets you pick from things like assists, strikeouts, hits allowed, fantasy points, and much more.
- No pushes: If you've played DFS Pick'em apps enough, you know how annoying it is to have a leg in your entry push because it landed exactly on the stat projection. Well, that won't happen with Betr since they offer only half-point projections, meaning each pick will either win or lose.
- Promos for existing customers: The promotions don't end after you take advantage of the sign-up bonus. Betr regularly offers promotions to all customers, such as No Sweat entries that gives you your money back if your entry loses.
My Least Favorite Parts About Betr Picks
- Worse payouts for some entry sizes: Compared to payouts at other DFS Pick'em sites, Betr offers slightly worse payouts than at least one competitor for all entry sizes except 2 picks, 4 picks, and 5 picks with insurance (Dynamic Play mode).
- Bank transfer withdrawals take awhile: While PayPal and debit card withdrawals generally get completed in less than a day, bank transfer withdrawals can take up to 5 business days—a bit longer than competitors.
- Sign-up bonus can be risky: If your first entry on Betr loses, they will refund you in Betr Bucks up to $250. While this is a nice safety net, if you lose the entry or entries you place with the bonus funds, you could end up losing all of your initial deposit. I prefer a 100% deposit match that most of the best DFS sites currently offer since you receive the bonus no matter what.
- Can't play on desktop: While I prefer using DFS apps as opposed to websites, if you prefer playing on desktop, you're out of luck when it comes to Betr as they currently only offer apps (iOS and Android).
Betr Picks Promo Code & Sign-Up Bonus
New customers at Betr receive a No Sweat First Entry up to $250 after using Betr promo code ASSIST when signing up.
If your first entry loses, Betr will refund you in Betr Bucks up to $250.
So, for example, let's say you sign up and place your first entry of $100:
- If your first entry wins, congrats! You get your winnings just like any other entry.
- If your first entry loses, you'll receive $100 in Betr Bucks within 3 hours that you can then use on other entries.
One downside of the Betr Bucks (if you receive them) is that payouts on entries you use them on are knocked down by one multiplier. For example, if you place a 3-pick entry and win, you would only receive a 4x payout instead of the typical 5x.
Overall, while I prefer deposit matches like PrizePicks and Underdog offer, Betr's sign-up bonus is definitely worth taking advantage of.
If you win your first entry, you'll start with a nice bankroll to play with, and, if you lose, you have a shot at winning your money back with the Betr Bucks.
There is also an extra bonus that gives you a $5 free entry if you make your first deposit within 2 hours of signing up.

Betr Picks Payouts
Here's a look at Betr's payouts based on entry size and whether you choose Perfect Play mode (all picks have to be correct) or Dynamic Play mode (1, 2, or 3 picks can lose and you can still win).
In the Dynamic Play column in the table below, the number outside the parentheses is the number of correct picks while the number inside is the payout.
Note that Betr also offers Boosted picks that increase your payouts even more than what are in the table below. Look for the yellow rocket ship icon to find these.
# of Picks | Perfect Play | Dynamic Play |
|---|---|---|
2 | 3x | Not available |
3 | 5x | 3 correct (2.25x), 2 correct (1.25x) |
4 | 10x | 4 (5x), 3 (1.5x) |
5 | 20x | 5 (10x), 4 (2.5x) |
6 | 30x | 6 (20x), 5 (1.25x), 4 (1.05x) |
7 | 50x | 7 (30x), 6 (2x), 5 (1.25x) |
8 | 100x | 8 (50x), 7 (5x), 6 (1.5x) |
To get that juicy 1000x payout, you have to include 4 Boosted picks in your 8-pick entry. While we don't recommend solely playing these entries since they're so hard to win, it's definitely fun to put a dollar or two down every now and then.
Here's a quick look at how Betr's payouts compare to other industry leaders:
Site | 2 | 3 | 3 Ins | 4 | 4 Ins | 5 | 5 Ins | 6 | 6 Ins | 7 | 7 Ins |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3x | 5x | 3 (2.25x), 2 (1.25x) | 10x | 4 (5x), 3 (1.5x) | 20x | 5 (10x), 4 (2.5x) | 30x | 6 (20x), 5 (1.25x), 4 (1.05x) | 50x | 7 (30x), 6 (2x), 5 (1.25x) | |
3x | 6x | 3 (2.5x), 2 (1.25x) | 10x | 4 (5x), 3 (1.5x) | 20x | 5 (10x), 4 (1.5x), 3 (0.4x) | 35x | 6 (25x), 5 (1.5x), 4 (0.4x) | 60x | 7 (35x), 6 (2.5x), 5 (1x) | |
| 3x | 5x | 3 (2.25x), 2 (1.25x) | 10x | 4 (5x), 3 (1.5x) | 22x | 5 (10x), 4 (2x), 3 (0.4x) | 25x | 6 (25x), 5 (2x), 4 (0.4x) | N/A | N/A | |
| 3x | 6x | 3 (3x), 2 (1x) | 10x | 4 (6x), 3 (1.5x) | 20x | 5 (10x), 4 (2.5x) | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Betr is on par with competitors for 2 and 4-pick entries but falls short of at least one for 3-pick (Dabble), 5-pick (PrizePicks), 6-pick (Dabble), and 7-pick (Dabble) entries.
For insured picks (Dynamic Play), Betr leads the pack for 5-pick entries.
With all that being said, we recommend using Betr Picks for 2 and 4-pick uninsured entries and 5-pick insured entries.
If you want to place an entry with a different amount of picks, you should at least compare the lines to competitors to see if you can get a better deal.
How Betr Picks Works
It's super easy to place entries with Betr Picks.
Once you're in the app, simply click the league you're interested in then choose the Games, Players, or Projections view to see available stats (I prefer the Games view but I know some people like to see all players or stats in one view).
Here are some screenshots of each (click to expand):
From there, choose More or Less on at least two player's stats from two different teams to build your entry.
Once you're ready to lock it in, click. the View Entry button at the bottom of your app, enter the amount you want to risk, and submit it.
That's it! As I said, Betr Picks is super simple and easy to get the hang of—especially if you've used other Pick'em apps before
Betr Picks Deposits, Withdrawals, & Payout Speed
It's easy to get your money in and out of Betr and payouts are reasonably fast.
Let's take a look at Betr's banking options:
Deposits
You can deposit to your Betr account via debit card (Visa and Mastercard), PayPal, and bank transfer.
It would be nice if Betr accepted Apple Pay and American Express/Discover debit cards, but I think most people will find that one of the options works for them.
The minimum deposit at Betr is $5 and deposits are instant, so you can play right away after funding your account.
Withdrawal Methods & Payout Speed
When you're ready to cash out your winnings, head to the Fantasy Wallet section and click Withdraw from Fantasy.
You can then choose your withdrawal method (debit card, PayPal, or bank transfer) and how much you want to withdraw.
In my experience, debit card and PayPal withdrawals are paid out within a day. Bank transfer takes a bit longer—up to 5 business days.
